About Alphabet Rockers

Alphabet Rockers make music that makes change. Founded by Kaitlin McGaw (she/her) and Tommy Shepherd (he/him/they), this intergenerational group creates brave spaces to shape a more equitable world through hip hop. Audiences will explore elements of hip hop together, have shared moments to express and uplift affirmations, reflections and get our bodies moving in celebration and joy!

Grammy Award-winning Alphabet Rockers make music and content that makes change. Led by Kaitlin McGaw (she/her) and Tommy Soulati Shepherd (he/him/they), Alphabet Rockers create brave spaces to shape a more equitable world through hip hop. Alphabet Rockers’ music inspires kids and families to stand up to hate and be their brave and beautiful selves. Their 2020 Grammy-nominated album, The Love, lifts up voices of our trans, two-spirit and gender non-conforming community. The Movement, their 2023 Grammy-winning album, amplifies restorative justice and is a soundtrack for a reimagined world of belonging and justice.
